Oh boy. I broke one of my simple but very important rules again last night.
It was a beautiful Fall Day yesterday, and I had a total blast. I had a great day out at the homecoming game, and then went out for a really nice meal.
Thus, my regret is small, but I am not happy with myself.
Things were in check until I got home and decided I wanted more beer.
Big mistake.
Luckily, I bought light beer and therefore, just kind of kept a buzz going.
However, it was going until almost 4 am.
WTH, dude?
Which brings me to the idea of your one thing.
This refers to the one thing that if you do it well makes everything else go well, too.
For example, I’ve noticed that even short time periods of practicing guitar technique improves my overall playing and ear. It’s subtle but I notice it.
Same with a five minute vocal warm up before playing and singing. It isn’t absolutely necessary, but it does make a huge difference in my vocal delivery.
Often, your one thing is brought into full focus by a crisis.
It sharpens your perspective.
Like it or not, I created a mini crisis by not following my simple one thing rule when it comes to purchasing adult beverages for home.
The rule is “don’t” do it.
But I did, so now I have a minor health crisis.
Therefore, my one thing today is recovering my health.
Rest. Sleep. Eat some healthy, high fiber and protein items.
That sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?
I’ve been considering to make getting dialed back in on my health goals.my one thing, for at least this next month.
I’m still trending two pounds over my max target weight range.
That must be reversed asap.
So, perhaps this was the crisis I needed to bring that more clearly into view.
Nah, I would have been better off without it.
but I’m not going to waste a good crisis.
My other one thing is to get this blog article posted.
Done.
So … that’s it, Folks.
Enjoy a beautiful weekend day!
And don’t be like me last night.
Follow your simple rules, stay the course moving forward the things that matter to you, and you will be glad you did.
